Geriatric feckers from Belgium don't know how to run a football club but the nice men from Abu Dhabi do.soapboxsam said:Yabba Dabba Doo ?

Don’t want to be negative but we’ve been bought by ESL, and Sheikh with the very long name is a major shareholder.
that doesn’t mean he’s gonna spend his own 18 billion fortune.I’d settle for being a stable club that has a competitive budget
I can see us being a premier team again with with their cash, and the rest will be a dream if it happens.10 -
Should add that I’m over the moon with the takeover!1 -
It will be great to see where Bowyer and his team can take us without their hands tied behind their backs.7

With all due respect to my old mate, I think you might be right (in the sense that these new buyers seem to be ridiculously minted)!blackpool72 said:

Win lose or draw, We’ve got our Charlton back!!1 -
I doubt this takeover would have happened if we were sitting in the top 3 so the recent injury induced slump has been a blessing so I’d like to thank those teams for beating us and for any millwall boys reading - particular you - the latest defeat was painful at the time - as they always are but very much helped this to happen - thankyou for your part in making us the richest club in the world - thankyou37

You don't know what you've been missing mate ;-)charlton4ever said:I have proudly not posted ONE comment on any takeover thread prior to today as the constant let downs, false dawns , bullshit etc wound me up. Today I can post and be free !!!!! Can't wait to get back to the Valley for every home match with my Son. Been through a lot with this club but never boycotted before, even had a season ticket at sell***** and W. Ham.0 -
Sounds good to me! I’d be happy just to meet the legend that is James seed.
what time are you getting there?0 -

It still hasn't sunk in yet, can't wait to get to The Valley tomorrow so it can finally engrain into me the old scrote has actually gone!
Even if we don't see the cash splashed early surely the days of signing the likes of Josh Parker in the January window are finally over (no disrespect to Josh) and instead we can look to re-sign Grant, Aribo, make Cullen permanent and do some business that will at least keep us in the league for a real go at promotion next season.
All very encouraging so far, I do wonder if this is the bid @Redhenry said excited him?
What a day!

Yes, me for one.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Is anyone on here who in the past has criticised Man City's oil money, or the questionable human rights record in the UAE etc etc that bothered now this is happening?
Nope, didn't think so!
Bring it on. I expect at least a 15m outlay on new signings in January.
Am I pleased Roland's gone? Of course. Am I hoping our new owners aren't complete shits? Ditto.1 -
Now that this chapter has an ending, it's quite good to be able to read it and reflect...

Sponsorship is the only way we can spend big?.Bigger crowds and buying clubs abroad get the Charlton name out there again.I went Turkey and not a single Cafc fake shirt.0

Our man’s only got £19bn but he’s part of a family that have £150 billion - that’s 5 times richer than man city’s owner - as takeovers go, this one is ticking all the boxes for meValley27000 said:Man city still richer lol.3 -

Just in from work and my son tells me the news. Looks like we’ve got what we deserved. I’m beyond happy 😊

Roland’s gone. New owners on the face of it look exciting but so far all we have is a statement that’s pretty standard for any incoming new owners of a football club. It’s a sad reality these days but it’s going to be money that talks. We have a old manager of that I’m sure but the last eight games have proved that The Championship is very tough. Bowyer needs supporting and I’m convinced we will push on. The proof of the pudding is in January.1

The thing is we ARE an attractive club to buy
London location with reasonable transport links AND a growing local population
Reasonably modern ground with corporate facilities and scope to expand - The Valley is still superior to all the other midsized London grounds, and doesn't need the vast sums spending on it to expand and modernise that Craven Cottage and Selhurst do, or complete relocation like Loftus Road
Reasonable training ground with a plan to modernise it
Well regarded academy
Relatively nice image
The memory of Premier League football - there will be people who can be attracted back
In addition we also offer thanks to Bowyer, Gallen and co
A proven coaching and recruitment team
A passionate fanbase and growing crowds
And most of all CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL with a realistic chance of reaching the Premier League in a sensible timescale. It's no coincidence that our buyer seems to be a in a completely different league to the sorts of buyers after us in L1.
